MoFHM - Character Study

I couldn't focus at all today. I guess it's just one of those days where I'm wandering in a fog of a sort. Since I couldn't focus on my animation projects for class I was looking through my "On Going Project" folder to see if I could work on a personal piece or project. Here's a character study of one of the main characters from a comic project I'm working on with a few of my archery buddies.

The comic project started two and a half years ago and was spawned by my friend Thesa M. who was doodling characters while we were hanging out at Tim J.'s place. From there we figured out what we wanted to do with the comic and went from there. The title we decided on is, "The Misadventures of Four Hapless Mortals".

Two years in the making and I still have a ton of pages to clean up. Hopefully I can get some stuff on the blog soon.

In this class we were encouraged to find our own "style" using some of our favorite artists as studies and reference points to start.

In our final project, we were put into groups and had to create a concept art book based off of a Brothers Grimm Fairytale. The group I was in consisted of four people who tried to emulate watercolor in Photoshop. The story we chose was, “Snow White and Rose Red”. For the next four weeks we tried to hammer out our ideations, story thumbnails, and character designs and then finally our final story moments for our project. Our goal was to make illustrations for a children’s book that was inspired by Mary Blair’s pieces and meshing our watercolor styles together. The overall point of the project was the whole teamwork - learning how to work together and I think we achieved that goal. Here are the illustrations that I contributed to the final:

I was looking back on the work I have here versus my other painting blog, and it seems that I'm switching gears. If anyone is looking for more of my work please follow http://jlong-paints.blogspot.com/ instead.
I think I'm just going to reserve this blog for random sketches, class related project work, and things that don't seem like they quite fit into the other blog even though this one started out as my main art blog. This blog seems to have turned into a summaries of different subjects and doodles blog versus a art/portfolio of a sort blog. Besides, there's more prettier things on the other blog than this one. haha.
